Pigs are surprisingly intelligent and social, often rivaling dogs in their ability to learn tricks, recognize names, and form strong bonds with humans. They thrive on interaction, showing affection through playful behaviors—and yes, some even wag their tails when happy! Those who keep pigs as pets describe them as curious, loving companions with distinct personalities.
